The women-led “Mission: Home” program demonstrates the power of collaboration between Ultra staff, suppliers, community partners and festival-goers to champion festival sustainability.
“This speaks volumes about the power of music and the arts to call for collective action, and what better purpose than to protect our planet,” Vivian Belzaguy Hunter, Director of Sustainability at Ultra Music Festival, said in a press release.
